The Free Lakota Nation Establishes a Non-Reserve, Non-Fractional Currency

[Rev.Reverence]

To add:

My focus in College was Native American history, I took classes in Native American literature, my wife is part Cherokee... And you know what.... I don't claim to know "Jack" about the whole of Native American life, I want to know more though....

But one thing I do know is, if these people who have been stomped on by history, can make their lives a little better for themselves and improve their conditions (I am NOT talking about reperations or affirmative action) but their conditions RIGHT NOW.... then good... VERY GOOD.

...I know some things...but have not studied any 1 particular Tribe...(I don't know TOO much)...

(I am also descended from the Cherokee peoples..my Great-Grandma was as Fullblood as you can get.)

I agree that it is a good thing when any peoples that have less than the status quo stand up and get a "peice of the pie"...In this case, IT ROCKS!

I agree with you, Phee. I took some classes on Native American History and Literature as an undergrad. I even belonged to a writers group with some Native American students. But, the fact that I learned about some aspects of the culture in an academic setting doesn't mean much.

I have lived on a reservation.

It was ... very hard to put into words ... but it taught me a lot.

Thanks, Rayne.

I'm wondering if more communities, and even entire states throughout America will start rebelling against the the Federal Reserve and the international bankers by creating their own currencies. I'm all for it.

Don't even get Me started on immigration.....

& You did not answer my question.

Oh, sorry.

To answer, I do something I rarely do... quote wikipedia...

The American Dream is belief in the freedom that allows all citizens and residents of the United States to pursue their goals in life through hard work and free choice.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

There is no guarantee that you get the happiness.

Can you point out exactly what I said that was somehow deaming to any Native American?

I am trying to remember where it was at... but some small town created thier own money that could be used locally a few years ago... we had a thread about it.

Well that's why it's the pursuit {in modern times w/o money it is difficult to pursue ANYTHING}.....But anywhoo.....

Most "goals" & supposed "free choice" now a days require cash money.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

given what globalized speculation in commodities markets brought about with oil these past few months (spectacular rise and stunning fall), I hope they've thought this through.

having said that, good luck to 'em!

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I think you are in one of those "Forrest for the trees" situations.

I never said you did actually
